lol I know. I wrote that whole thing up on overclocking. However, that's normally the case, but not with the 8800GS cards.
They're driver limited at 680mhz core, and rivatuner and atitool can't get around it. Flashing the bios can.
I'll make sure they're both capable of running it, and save the old bios roms on a floppy rom.
oh and shader isn't always supported on all cards, like the 8600GTS. Flashing is the easiest way to remedy this.
But yeah, I'm no nub to the sli scene :P and yeah, and it does that for vram too, if you apply the proper registry hacks. It's much easier to reflash though, and it'll work under any OS.
Lol yeah, not gonna be much of a match. Your setup is probably close to my 7900GT @ 650/900. I'm still proud that I bought 7800GT cards for 300 used, had them replaced when one died with 7900GT cards, and then vmoded them to GTX voltage and GTX clocks. lol @ almost breaking 10k 3dmark06 with sli and an x2.
oh and I checked shipping, and the XFX gets here friday, and the EVGA will probably get here monday. I'll have a good weekend to test it alone.
